When you do the math, the cloud offerings look very expensive for most workload indeed.

All the good reasons why productivity increases with code assistants are massively overestimated. To be used why not, but with a light touch.

Good criteria to decide to pair or not. This is still not practiced enough. Maybe knowing when it's best to reach out to pair will help get more into it.

Good advices to improve writing. I should apply such rules to myself more often.

This is indeed the best approach I've seen for brainstorming. It gives a chance to everyone to bring something forward, even the introverts.

Interesting history behind the company which was instrumental in pushing computer graphics forward during its time.

Can we let the myth of Apple being a proper steward with data privacy to rest please? I don't know why people took their claims for granted to start... with so much opacity, it's not a claim you could trust.

Well done LibreOffice! I'd love to see many more announcements like this one.

Improved static analysis for C straight from GCC. This is definitely welcome.

Interesting article, shows quite well the complexities of D-Bus and Polkit. Unsurprisingly such complexity easily leads to mistakes which can compromise security. This then hints to interesting things to keep in mind when you have to deal with D-Bus and Polkit.

Funny experiment. This shows what you can achieve in terms of teaching and learning during pair programming setups. Shadowing someone is a powerful approach.

Definitely a good idea, we'd need several such institutes across the world. Would governments be willing to try this?

You think the xz vulnerability was a one time event? Think again, this kind of bullying with ulterior motives happen regularly to critical projects.

When you're distributed, this is all about asynchronous communication. You can't walk to a person desk (and you should probably avoid it anyway if colocated).

Another example of enforcing conventions using automated checks. This time using Python and Django tricks.
